Profiles in Bad Education: So far, UN-L administrators have shown only sympathy for a young conservative student harassed at her booth by a professor and graduate teaching assistant on campus. These 2 employees are prime examples of leftwing faculty members, salaries paid by NE taxpayers, poisoning the minds of our youth and free speech with radical pabulum. Conservative students in their classes probably find themselves downgraded. The university administration, supported by regents, should immediately fire these miscreants and institute a strict code of professional conduct for faculty members, with severe penalties for violations.
